hey my cousin gave me a capacitor and i have it hooked up to my amp that is only powering a single 250 watt sub thats rarely on anyways, would the capacitor drain my battery even more if I dont really need it? What numbers am I looking for in terms of voltage?
thanks

 

you dont need it, why dont you just sell it for $$

 

it won't drain your battery

i'm actually doing the same thing... bought an amp from someone on here, and he included the sub and a cap. pawned the sub, used the ones i already had, and hooked up the cap.

 

i want to keep it - incase i do upgrade in the future, and plus i'll never be able to buy it for the price that i can get it sold for.

does voltage above 12 seem okay?

 

How much further above 12v? Like 12.75v?

 

well with the car engine off the reading shows 12.5 or so V or 11.9 or something with the amp on but with the car on its like 14 something

 

it's suppose to be like that

normal operating voltage of a car is like 14.4 volts

 

awesome thanks

 

i still, think they do nothing. addiction knows alot about them talk to him before doing anything.

 

my amp was draining my battery horribly, so i had it disconnected. at partsource, they said to get a capacitor, and that would allow me to have my amp still hooked up.

is this true?
